Latest From The Newsroom
In November Santa Fe citizens will vote to elect a new mayor and city councilor
The Santa Fe New Mexican, KSFR, KSWV, and Santa Fe Community College are inviting residents to complete a survey that gauges potential voters’ views on a variety of topics. The survey will be available on The New Mexican, KSFR, and KSWV websites until the field of councilor and mayoral candidates is finalized Aug. 26.
The New Mexican, KSFR, KSWV, and Santa Fe Community College are partnering to provide civically focused information on issues, candidates and the voting process for the 2025 Santa Fe Local Elections.
This survey focuses on the city elections and issues. Results will be compiled into a story.
The locally owned media outlets and community college also will host public forums with candidates at Santa Fe Community College.
Public forums are planned for councilor candidates Sept. 3 and mayoral hopefuls Sept. 17 in the Jemez Rooms on the community college’s main campus. Both events are free, open to the public, begin at 5:30 p.m., and are likely to be livestreamed for those who can’t attend in person.
